Gotta ask because I wanted to find more sources on this than just what I've been fed. How have people gone about getting costumes for their whole, you know, work here? Any advice? Specialists that can be consulted?

I'm completely at a loss here except for comics from back home, and damn those costumes were not the greatest.

[atypical_echo]

Yeah! That place!

[torchbearer]

You really need to get out more.

[atypical_echo]

I really do. But hey, I've got teleporter stuff now, so I guess I will.

[torchbearer]

You signed up for a guild?

[atypical_echo]

Yep. Thus the costume need.

[torchbearer]

Huh.

Which one?

[atypical_echo]

Alliance. I was considering the Society not because I'm evil but because they seem more hands off. But I heard they were doing some really shady shit with clones so... Yeah, couldn't approve.

[torchbearer]

I guess it all comes down to what you're willing to live with.

[atypical_echo]

I don't like either of these things. I don't want to be dragged into this. But I want to be able to protect people.

[torchbearer]

That's as good a reason as any.

[atypical_echo]

Yeah. I stood back nervously for too long back home.

[torchbearer]

Because of your powers?

[atypical_echo]

Kinda yes? A lot of stuff happened.

[torchbearer]

Did something new happen?

[atypical_echo]

No, just old trauma

[torchbearer]

What made you decide to confront it?

[atypical_echo]

There were all these KIDS around. And they needed help.

Fuck, I already stood back and people got hurt from it. I couldn't do it again.

[torchbearer]

That makes sense.

[atypical_echo]

I've seen people suffer while I refused to act, and I can't do that again.

[torchbearer]

Good. No one should.

[atypical_echo]

Guess I was just hurt and scared in the past. But I'm resolving to be stronger.

PLUS with the new job and the guild helping defray rent costs a little, well, I can afford a couch sooner?

[torchbearer]

Not bad at all. Guess I should hold up my end of the bargain.

[atypical_echo]

Yeah, you should.

[torchbearer]

I'll get right on it.

[atypical_echo]

Cool! We can both live up to it then!
